Registry

Expanding the Online Frontier

Welcome to Google’s domain registry. We’re really excited about the domains we’ll be
offering. The Internet has always been first and foremost about self-expression, and
the dawn of this era of hundreds of new domains marks one of the most unpredictable
moments in the history of a highly unpredictable medium.

.EDU has always meant education, .GOV government, .ORG
non-profits. Today's new domains are infinitely more open-ended. There will be new
homes for creativity, for business, for explorers, comedians and professionals. What
will .HOW mean? .EAT?
.SOY? We have our ideas, but how you develop your
piece of this online real estate is up to you. Whether you're a dad or a traveler, a
developer or a movie maker, a Japanese speaker or a tour guide, the web, happily, is
what you make of it.

An explanation of the .app Early Access Program (EAP)

May 2, 2018

EAP is a 7-day period in advance of General Availability (GA) during which domains can be
registered immediately. During EAP there is a one-time early access fee in addition to the
usual annual price for the domain, which can vary depending on whether the name is standard
or premium. This early access fee is one time and not charged for renewals. There are five
different price tiers in EAP, starting with the highest tier and decreasing each day as
follows:

Domain name registrars set the price they charge for each EAP tier, and prices may vary
across registrars. In addition to EAP, there are also premium domains; these domains have
higher prices that are independent of EAP. These premium prices apply to renewals as well
as initial registrations, and also apply in GA.

Launch details for .app

March 1, 2018

We are currently in the process of launching our fourth open top-level domain, .app, a more
secure domain for apps. From games to news to education to business, .app is the perfect
home to promote apps on the web. The .app domain is a great place to showcase a unique and
trustworthy destination. If you’re interested in carrying .app domains, you can download our
RRA here.

May 1 - May 8: Anyone can register available .app domains for an extra
fee (known as the "Early Access" period).

May 8 and onwards: Anyone can register available .app domains (known as
“General Availability").

Please note that a claims period will run indefinitely, during which trademark owners will
receive notification when their marks are registered as domains.

For now we will be exclusively focusing on launching .app. We are continuing to work on
plans for .dev, which shall be launched at a future time. Stay tuned for more details if
you’re interested in carrying .dev!

Launch update for .app and .dev

December 14, 2017

We are currently finalizing plans to launch .app and .dev as open top-level domains in the
first half of 2018. If you’re an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, please send a request for more information.
